B Braun recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units have specific catalog numbers and expiration dates.
Potential for backflow of medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers and the inability to prime (occlusion).
B Braun is recalling IV administration sets used in gravity and pump IV systems because they can cause medication to flow backward into the main container and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or contamination of the medication.
The IV sets can allow medication from a secondary container to flow back into the primary container, which might cause incorrect dosing or contamination. They also may not prime correctly, leading to blockages or incomplete medication delivery.
Healthcare professionals using IV sets with B Braun's Infusomat, Outlook, or Vista pumps are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets may also be affected.
Check for catalog number 490303 on the set. These sets were sold with B Braun's Infusomat, Outlook, or Vista pumps and have an expiration date of 24 months from manufacture.
Look for catalog number 490303 on the IV administration set.
